Shossshhhhhh!!!

Wooooo!!!

Trade!

I feel like sosh gets overated slightly due to a good 5 or soemthing games last season. People want him on the top line with kadri and I don't think he's ready. Wouldn't have been my first call up (leipsic, and kappy should have been over him) but Im willing to see what he can do and he does have a nice shot. Hopefully he replaces komo on the pp.

How injured is Leivo?

 

[Borschevsky]

/edit - nevermind

thought Corrado was confirmed playing but apparently not

 

[Nithoniniel]

How injured is Leivo?

Too injured.

 

[SprDaVE]

Not the player that deserved it the most if you go by performance on the Marlies but I think the Leafs really loved his compete level and skill on the bottom lines going back to last year.

Is that really the top line?

He was said to be skating last week, but then he disappeared.

haha Corrado poor ******* I think they made him take pre game skate one game and still didn't play him

 

[LeafsNation149]

WOOOOOT LOVE Soshnikov

That's what I thought I heard. I assumed he would be coming off the IR to take Hunwick's spot on the roster.

He must have a Lou(er) body injury.

It must be his turn to be Carlton the Bear.

They usually are tasked with playing against other teams top lines, and are the shutdown line for us. Even if it's not the top line, I would rather see kadri with better and more experienced wingers right now. I'd love to see a jvr-kadri-marner line and have sosh take hymans spot on the Matthews line. Have a bozak, komo, hyman line as the sheltered 3rd line that hits and tries to create secondary offense.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Knew they'd recall a forward from the Marlies with Hunny Boo Boo going on the IR.

Probably will play with Kadri

I hope Griffith doesn't come out of the line up.

Agreed
Sit Bozak

I agree, Hyman needs to be replaced. I don't like Marner with Kadri, they both like to bring the puck up the ice.

 

[Pi]

YESSSS. I hope he replaces Hyman.

nahhh the defence is so solid without him

 

[schenneuf]

Nice. Hopefully he's on the 1st line.

 

[Matthews34]

I hope Griffith doesn't come out of the line up.

Why??? He has done nothing.

 

[saltming]

How injured is Leivo?

It might be a case of robiditis! Not sure if it's simple or complex robiditis.

 

[Crysis]

YESSSS. I hope he replaces Hyman.

There's a lot of players I'd remove from the lineup before Hyman. He actually works his butt off every shift.
